It means taking the time to reconnect with your deepest desires and values. It can be difficult at times in a fast-paced world, but our intuition already knows what\u2019s best for us. It\u2019s that silent guide that pushes us forward, even when we have doubts.<br \/>   <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">It\u2019s not about denying the past. Every chapter that came before has its place and has helped shape who we are today.

The Rise of How to Spa<br \/><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">A Message from the Founder, Maud:<br \/> <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">&#8220;At How To Spa, this realization came naturally. After eight years of supporting you in your wellness rituals, I felt the call to evolve and reinvent the way we support you. 2024, like for many, was a trying year\u2014both professionally and personally\u2014marked by challenges and exhaustion. But I see every challenge in life as a blessing in disguise. Because through these difficult moments, these doubts and misunderstandings, life gently leads us to face what needs to be changed.<br \/> <br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">For me, it meant slowing down as the year came to a close, despite the pressure to meet revenue targets. It was a powerful period of self-reflection, following a period of exhaustion, that finally gave me the courage to turn the page and embrace that inner voice that has been calling to me for several years now\u2014to create tools even more aligned with a deep spirituality. It meant finding the confidence to share even more about myself, in order to help you on your journey toward spiritual awakening.<br \/>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Starting in 2025, I\u2019m embarking on a new chapter, guided by a more comprehensive vision of well-being. While our Relaxation Kits marked a significant milestone in the history of How To Spa, they will now give way to support programs designed to meet your current needs. With the help of practices such as Pranayama Yoga breathing (a pioneer in breathwork), Guided Meditation, and Somatic Practices to regulate the nervous system\u2014practices in which I am currently training\u2014my goal will be to guide you through a wellness ritual that combines a love of the spa with spiritual awakening.<br \/>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">I want to offer you something more specialized than just wellness coaching (which, it must be said, is starting to saturate the market ^^). These programs will be aimed at a very specific audience\u2014one that will identify with a focus on preventing mental and physical burnout. I don\u2019t want to reveal too much just yet, since I\u2019m currently in the midst of market research and training, but what I can tell you is that these programs will serve as a catalyst to help you regain confidence in yourself and in life. You\u2019ll finally take the time to care for yourself and your mental well-being, with support tailored to your schedule to make the practice as realistic as possible. You won\u2019t be overwhelmed by a list of exercises to do, but rather by a support system designed to ensure your schedule incorporates these practices.<br \/> <br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">I have so much more to share with you in 2025!<br \/>\nStay tuned&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/preprod.howtospa.com\/eveil-how-to-spa\/capture-decran-2024-12-29-a-14-38-30-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-32448 noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32448 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/preprod.howtospa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Capture-decran-2024-12-29-a-14.38.30-1-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/preprod26.howtospa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Capture-decran-2024-12-29-a-14.38.30-1-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/preprod26.howtospa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Capture-decran-2024-12-29-a-14.38.30-1-600x400.png 600w, https:\/\/preprod26.howtospa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Capture-decran-2024-12-29-a-14.38.30-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/preprod26.howtospa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Capture-decran-2024-12-29-a-14.38.30-1-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/preprod26.howtospa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Capture-decran-2024-12-29-a-14.38.30-1.png 1278w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There comes a time in life when we feel a gentle thrill: the thrill of a new beginning.
